Client Application Installation ###############################

.. _client_install:

For Linux

The Looking Glass client receives frames from the :ref:host <host_install> to display on your screen. It also handles input, and can optionally share the system clipboard with your guest OS through SPICE.

First you must build the client from source, see :ref:building. Once you have built the client, you can install it. Run the following as root::

make install

To install for the local user only, run::

cmake -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=~/.local .. && make install
